Otello (1986)

"The Most Powerful Love Story Ever Told..." This week, JD and Randy checked out the 1986 Cannon Classic film, "Otello". It's amazing how we keep finding more Cannon films. Otello is a 1986 film based on the Giuseppe Verdi opera of the same name, which was itself based on the Shakespearean play Othello. The film was directed by Franco Zeffirelli and starred Plácido Domingo in the title role, Katia Ricciarelli as Desdemona and Justino Díaz as Iago. "The most passionate opera of all time comes to life on the motion picture screen."
